Love the quote by Tolle and it’s oh so true. I constantly tell my wife that complaining only leads to more complaining; we should either “nip it in the bud” as they say and deal with the situation or accept that it’s not something that can or will be changed and get over it. In life you either piss or get off the pot … can’t have it both ways.

I am going to print this out and put it on the wall. Maybe I will just use it as wallpaper and put it up everywhere. Or I will just get the bracelet that Lianne referred to. That might be a better and less time consuming idea.

I have a massive change that I need to make in my life. And you (and Martha) are right. Complaining about my situation only releases the pressure and allows me to not change.

This is GREAT, and soooo (uncomfortably) true. Gotta love those smacks-upside-the-head…point taken! Love your writing and your topics and your sass. Keep up the good work!

You should repost this once a week – it’s that powerful. I’m super proud to have been trained by Martha and love that she made a difference in your life, too, Kelly. One of the tools that many of my clients find helpful is the Complaint Free World bracelet – it’s a good concrete reminder – they’re available here: http://www.acomplaintfreeworld.org/

Thanks for posting this! I sent it to a friend who is upset with her job and I am often on the receiving end of the complaints
great perspective on complaining.

Oh. So true. And sometimes when I hear myself complaining, I just want to yell – SHUT UP! PISS OR GET OFF THE POT, WOMAN! This is an extraordinary (and challenging) practice – to stop complaining, to take action to find your pleasure in every moment instead.

My goal for the day.

Thanks for writing, Kelly. Inspired, as always.
